I recently acquired a series 2 R2C3 Bridgeport with a Heidenhain TNC145 controller on it. I repaired some relay and switch problems with it and it powers up, I can home all 3 axises and a can move them with the handwheel and rapid traverse joysticks now. So the machine appears to be working, however being totally new to Heidenhain, I am having trouble comprehending how to write simple programs into it and run them for testing purposes and to just get some experience in how the controller actually functions, despite having the R2C3 factory Manual and the TNC145 programming Manual. Its a totally different thing compared to my other cnc Bridgeport which has an Anilam crusader M controller on it, of which I'm now pretty good with and have done a lot of jobs on.
I suspect the the first thing I should do is reload the parameters in the Heidenhain. However I can't understand how to get to the option to either check the parameters and or actually load them back in at the controller. I have the list of the parameters in the factory Manual.
I greatly appreciate anyones input and help in figuring this out and getting my machine back to making parts.
